Off to First

Shortly after vacation, Noah and I headed over to his new school to meet his teacher and check out his classroom. In first grade, he gets his own desk with his name on it. (In Kindergarten, they all sat at a communal table).

Noah had spent summer camp at the park across the street from the school and occasionally had after care inside the building, so it was nice that he was already familiar with it.

 His graduation shirt is still ridiculously long

 Noah was excited to start first grade because he felt like a big kid going to a new school

Especially since it was the school that the older boys across the street attend. This year they are all on the bus together. That won't happen again until Noah is in fourth grade. Noah wanted the Hulk or Spiderman for his backpack this year, so I searched high and low and found this really nice quality Hulk back pack at the Disney store.

Off they go! One in third, one in second, and one in first. The only kids in primary school on our street.

The first day of school was also Eclipse Day, so the school had emailed us to let us know they had purchased eclipse glasses for all of the children and were going to let them outside to view it. I really emphasized to Noah that he could not remove the glasses or let them slip off his face when he was looking up at the sun, so this picture that the school district posted really made me laugh. At least his glasses are on very securely!
